- 1繼兄／繼弟（沒有血緣，是繼父或繼母帶來的兒子）。中文要看年紀分「繼兄」或「繼弟」，英文一個字通吃，所以中文翻回去時要自己補上年紀。跟「同父異母／同母異父的兄弟」（half-brother）不一樣——那個是有血緣的。
Your stepbrother is a boy or man who became your because a parent of yours married a parent of his. He is the son of your stepmother or your , from their earlier relationship. The key point is that you share no blood: his mother or father is not yours, and yours is not his. You became family through the marriage. This is different from a **half-**, who shares one parent with you by birth — for example, your father's son with a new wife. English keeps these two apart, and people do notice the difference. Whether someone actually says "stepbrother" in daily life depends on feeling, not grammar. Many people simply say "my " about a stepbrother they grew up with and love, and only say "stepbrother" when they need to explain the family history. Others use the word with no bad feeling at all. It is not a rude word, but reaching for it can quietly signal distance, so listen to how each family talks. Also note that "step-" here has nothing to do with walking. It is a much older word meaning a family joined after a loss.
組成step- + brother. The step- here is not the step you take with your foot. It comes from an old English word that meant bereaved or orphaned — words like stepchild first described a child left without a parent, and later came to mean the family made by a new marriage.
